Abstract (en)
Figure 9 shows, through a vertical section, the planned machine in a phase of its functioning cycle. Such machine comprises a number of weighing units comprising a load cell (30) which, connected to a hopper (31) closed by a door (32) driven by pneumatic jack (33), transmits to the electronic controller of the machine the weight measured in the hopper in order to form weighed portions to be discharged in collecting sectors below delimited lengthwise by two crossbars (41), the ends of which are fastened to two chain-driven circuits (40, 47) moved simultaneously by one geared motor. Such crossbars (41), in the upper section of the drive circuit, move on a horizontal surface comprising a number of planes in sequence the first of which (43), located just underneath the scales hoppers, is fixed while the others (44) can be tilted downwards. To prevent the products pushed by the crossbars (41) onto the surface of planes (43-44) from scraping and getting damaged, each of the crossbars is equipped with a cloth (42) which receives the weighed portions and moves them up to flap (44) whose inclined opening will let the products roll down into one of the outflow channels of the machine, each one of which is delimited by a couple of fixed and parallel sideboards (5) suspended above a belt (7) for conveying the products outside of the machine.
